He also praised AMRO for its support to joint governmental initiatives that have contributed to improving Romania's investment environment, says MAE.

The Romanian chief diplomat also highlighted the commitment of Romania's new government to deepen Romania's strategic partnership with the US and consolidate the economic component thereof by securing a stable and predictable business environment grounded in simplified and transparent legislation. Melescanu reiterated the Romanian Government's interest in a consolidated US economic presence in Romania, says MAE.

Stewart thanked the Romanian chief diplomat for MAE's constant support to AMRO's initiatives, particularly the conduct of dialogue with Romanian governmental organisations.
